Furlough

Civilian employees at North Carolina's military bases are back at work after four furlough days from the government shutdown.

The recall comes after the Department of Defense said this weekend a stop-gap budget law that keeps the military funded during the shutdown includes civilian workers. Most of the 800 civilian employees who were furloughed from Camp Lejeune are back at work after the DOD reviewed the language in the Pay Our Military Act.

One of the largest EPA offices outside of Washington DC is in Research Triangle Park. That means some 2,000 employees are at home and not working during the government shut-down. But on Tuesday, a few dozen EPA workers could be found spending their un-wanted time off doing community service.
